About Marlene VanderSpek

Marlene J. VanderSpek is a solo family law practitioner based in St. Catharines, in the heart of the Niagara Region. VanderSpek represents clients across separation and divorce, covering property division, spousal and child support, and custody and access, and prepares separation and cohabitation agreements for couples working out their own arrangements. The practice combines courtroom litigation with alternative dispute resolution, drawing on mediation and negotiation to work toward settlements meant to hold up over time rather than reopen later.

VanderSpek holds a dual civil law and common law degree from McGill University in Montreal and an honours degree in French and international relations from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While studying at McGill, VanderSpek worked at the university's Legal Information Clinic, first as a volunteer caseworker and later as its director of human resources, a role that involved helping clients in both English and French.

In the community

  • VanderSpek takes part in the St. Catharines family bar and belongs to the Collaborative Family Law Group in Niagara and the Family Law Group of the Lincoln County Law Association.
